Özet:

 Modernist nationalism, evaluated in nationalism studies between 1945-1990, plays a functional role in the transition from traditional society to modern society. In line with this understanding that emerged through the effect of modernization in post-colonial independent states, the focus lies on the nation-formation processes emphasizing that nationalism is not a given. The process of nation formation through which the concept of us is produced, is defined as the symbolic formation of a nation. From this point of view, it is discussed how modernist nationalism functionalizes nationalism through the nation-formation process, and its effect on Persian nationalism is evaluated in this study. In this sense, the fact that Iran was classified on the basis of the concept of tribeclan until the 20th century but started to undergo processes such as centralization, constitutionalization and modernization from the 20th century onwards, is evaluated within the process of nation formation. In this study, the first wave of Persian nationalism based on modern, secular and pro-Western nationalism is discussed within the scope of modernist nationalism. Moreover, it is argued that the reforms of the first Pahlavi period 1925-1941 can be assessed within the scope of the formation process of the Persian.

 1945-1990 arası milliyetçilik çalışmaları içerisinde değerlendirilen modernist milliyetçilik, geleneksel toplumdan modern topluma geçişte işlevsel bir rol üstlenmektedir. Sömürge sonrası bağımsızlığını ilan eden devletlerde modernleşmenin etkisiyle ortaya çıkan bu anlayışta milliyetçiliğin verili olmadığı vurgulanarak, inşa süreçlerine odaklanılmaktadır. Genelde biz kavramının üretildiği millet kurma süreci ise bir milletin sembolik olarak inşa edilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, modernist milliyetçiliğin millet kurma süreci üzerinden milliyetçiliği nasıl araçsallaştırdığı tartışılmakta ve bunun Fars milliyetçiliği üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirilmektedir. Bu anlamda, 20. yüzyıla kadar kabileaşiret kavramları üzerinden sınıflandırılan İranın 20. yüzyıldan sonra merkezileşme, anayasallaşma ve modernleşme gibi süreçleri tecrübe etmeye başlaması bir inşa süreci olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada modern, seküler ve Batı yanlısı milliyetçiliğe dayanan birinci dalga Fars milliyetçiliği, modernist milliyetçilik kapsamında ele alınmakta ve sonuçta I. Pehlevi 1925-1941 dönemindeki reformların Farsı kurma süreci kapsamında değerlendirilebileceği vurgulanmaktadır.
